Ipswich avenged a girls' high school basketball loss to North Central earlier this year with a 44-41 victory on January 18 in Roscoe. What happened was that the score was tied at 40 late in the game and Katie Bierman would then assist Kaylin Onken for a layup and a tenuous 42-40 IHS lead. But the hosts would then go to the free throw line and made their first attempt, but missed the second. And Ipswich was then able to send Bierman to the charity stripe and she made 'em both. The Thunder would miss a shot at the end, leaving Ipswich with a...
The Vikings from James Valley Christian invaded the Tiger Den last Saturday, Jan. 22 and escaped with twin wins over the IHS boys and girls.

Isaac Korrell and Dax Frandsen were next with nine points apiece, almost in double-digits. Ipswich countered with seven total scorers, paced by Trevor Beyers with 11 points...

Faulkton never led in a Lake Region Conference boys' high school basketball league game vs. Ipswich on January 20 in the Tiger Den. Ipswich's defense proved to be quite formidable at times leading to some transition opportunities for the Tigers' offensive attack. Ipswich indeed got three unanswered baskets, starting with Taylor Thorson's deuce and then two straight layups by Carson Gohl for a quick six-point lead before Faulkton could even get on the scoreboard. The Tigers' first double-digit le...
Ipswich obtained a 68-33 boys' high school basketball win over North Central on January 18 in Roscoe.

Trevor Beyers was next with 10 points also climbing the double-figure scoring plateau that night. (He added...
By Dana Hess For the S.D.

The SDHSAA board approved the first reading of the amendment at its meeting Wednesday, Jan. 12. The amendment includes a formula for using a school district’s free and reduced lunch participation to lower its enrollment count. That count is used to determine each school’s classification in SDH...

The Ipswich Tiger boys' basketball team dropped a close verdict to Sully Buttes on January 11 in Onida. The Tigers indeed experienced a 35-33 shortfall at the final buzzer of a back and forth game to say the least. For instance the score was tied six times and there were four lead changes as well. Another somewhat unusual aspect of the game was that there were very few free thows. Ipswich didn't even go to the line once all night and the hosts made two of their four free throw opportunities. So those two free throws would prove to make a huge...

And their 42-36 victory was indeed a Lake Region Conference affair. Langford had trailed by 10 points 35-25, thanks to a Katie Bierman basket earlier in the final quarter.

The Ipswich Tiger varsity boys were out-scored 4-3 in an overtime period versus Warner on January 6 in Warner. This boys LRC clash indeed went into overtime tied at 47-all, thanks an Ian Beyers free throw near the end of regulation. But Ipswich's lone score in the OT would prove to be a Trevor Heinz trey that briefly lifted the Tigers into a narrow 50-49 lead. However the Tigers weren't able to come away with a much needed defensive stop. Instead the Monarchs manufactured a 51-50 lead of their own which would indeed stand. That's because...
The Ipswich boys basketball program made an impression in more ways than one during last Thursday's Big Bo Classic hosted by Wolsey-Wessington. First of all the Tigers manufactured a rather convincing 68-33 victory over the Wall Eagles. The other ways? "Yes. Taylor (Thorson) got the Sportsmanship Award and Ty (Kadlec) won a Scholarship," explained head coach Tyler Severson. Meanwhile Wall jumped out to an early 3-0 lead which would prove to be one of their biggest of the day. Trevor Beyers got Ipswich on the scoreboard with a deuce and then...

Summit has traditionally been a formidable opponent in basketball and having Waubay in a co-op certainly hasn't hurt the Mustang's girls' program at all.

Meanwhile, the Mustang girls would win the first three individual quarters to establish control, 14-7, 23-10 and 14-12, respectively. But Ipswich would then...
